Ok I was wondering so I have a pet tortoise for some reason it just felt like I needed to get him. And the wired thing is that every night I just wake up and he’s watching me like wacthing me sleep so I did some research and its not normal. I’ve also done some meditation and I saw a buffalo and something else but I couldn’t make it out what does this mean
This could mean that you’re as tough as the buffalo but unclear about some choices (that’s the animal you couldn’t make out) next time you meditate, clear your head about everything and relax. Trust me, that animal you couldn’t make out before is most likely going to show itself and will have a high probability of being your spirit companion.
I just did some meditating outside in my backyard and I saw a few animals: butterfly, wolf, hummingbird, and fox but the butterfly was the only one that was chasing me and told me it has chosen me to bond with it! No question about it, I am proud to say that I have found my true and real power animal. The Spirit of the Butterfly! Thank you so much for helping me find my true power animal. I will always be looking to it to guide me! =) I will also be wearing butterfly jewelry and other accessories with it from now on! I can’t wait to learn more about butterflies! =)
I feel I can relate to the butterfly animal spirit. So the butterfly might be my true and real power animal.
I took the quiz twice and I got the bear. I honestly don’t believe that to be my animal spirit because I never had any encounters or dreams with bears. I’m going to use the tools given on this site to help me find my true and real animal spirit that I am bonded with. So far I have had a few dreams about butterflies and snakes but I’ve had more (unusual) encounters with butterflies. I also have a few objects of butterflies and I keep being drawn to objects and images of butterflies at a kid’s toy store near my work place. I have also written all this down in my journal. So I feel the butterfly spirit is wanting to choose me more then the snake spirit but I am still going to observe it and see what else happens. I am very excited overall though. =)
Can you do a spirit animal meaning for the striped hyena?
It is my spirit animal and I wish to learn more about it.
Thanks!
So I took the quiz and I got to an owl as my spirit animal I’m also Native American
I meditated and I saw a fox and then there was a flash and then there was a coyote or wolf idk wat this means
Me too! It’s just such a coincidence. I always get those dreams, and I have absolutely no idea why.
The wolf or fox in your dream or vision is trying to get your attention. They are not a threat, but perhaps a warning of an upcoming conflict in your life or someone close to you. Read the articles about both animals, and the message will come clear.
Ive tried many times and Ive got nothing. so either im doing something wrong…or…I dont have a spirit animal? Do the animals hate me!? TwT
Don’t self-deprecate yourself. Maybe it’s because your spirit animal hasn’t been written down in a page yet. Everyone has at least a spirit animal, and it’s definitely not your fault. :)
In my meditation I was greeted by a Slow Loris, although at the time I had no idea what it was. I have since been researching this animal and when I came across the picture of the Loris I knew that was it. In some folklore it is believed that this animal is capable of healing wounds and mending bones. I was really amazed since I am an energy healer. Are you familiar with this animals a spirit animal?
I set look at this picture of an engle and i see alot of different animals it is like changing itself what thus this means
I look at this picture. Of an engle and it changes in many different animals what thus this means ?
It could mean you did something wrong. But it depends on how you got the picture.These things are delicate.
I tried meditating to find my spirit animal, and I saw two animals. I don’t really know what to do. Are they both my spirit animals? Or did I do something wrong? Should I try again or just accept it?
If anyone knows what this means. Please comment!
Oh, don’t worry, some people have multiple spirit animals. For instance, mine is the wolf and the coyote. I think there were a few people who commented on the other pages that they had four to five. I feel it’s better when you have multiple spirit animals because you have more support when you fail in something.

I have heard that there are twelve spirit animals
It means that you are a little of each. No person can be defined by one animal alone, and you have the upper body of one, and the lower body of the other. This means that one rules your conscious thoughts and the other controls your feelings and desires.
